We are pleased to announce that words for several have been submitted. But the committee in charge wish to have a much greater variety of productions from which to choose. The offer of Director Daniels to furnish suitable music for the selections is, indeed, a generous one, and should be appreciated by all. Every man among our alumni, or of the student body, who has any talent along this line should enter the competition. We are sorely in need of college songs. This is certainly an opportunity to satisfy that need. Remember that the competition closes December fifteenth. HTHE annual catalogue of the college has again made its appearance. We are all glad to see that it represents advancement and progress. The old-time cuts have been omitted. This is an improvement, as very few up-to-date catalogues now include them. The new requirements for admission are especially worthy of attention, because they demand a better and more complete preparation for the college work. Perhaps the most prominent change in this line is that which applies to special students who must have the same amount of preparation as is required for any of the regular courses. This is a change which will appeal to all as being a step in the right direction, because heretofore we have had men in college who really ought to have been in the preparatory school. We believe that this catalogue is one, which will meet with the approval of all, because it not only clearly represents the high grade of work being done in the college, but it also signifies the high standard of requirements which a man must have for entrance.

MADISONENSIS VOL. XXXIV HAMILTON, N. V., NOVEMBER 26, 1901 NO. 5 EDITORIAL appeal for more college songs made some * time ago through the columns of The Madisonensis has evidently attracted some attention. We are pleased to announce that words for several have been submitted. But the committee in charge wish to have a much greater variety of productions from which to choose. The offer of Director Daniels to furnish suitable music for the selections is, indeed, a generous one, and should be appreciated by all. Every man among our alumni, or of the student body, who has any talent along this line should enter the competition. We are sorely in need of college songs. This is certainly an opportunity to satisfy that need. Remember that the competition closes December fifteenth. HTHE annual catalogue of the college has again made its appearance. We are all glad to see that it represents advancement and progress. The old-time cuts have been omitted. This is an improvement, as very few up-to-date catalogues now include them. The new requirements for admission are especially worthy of attention, because they demand a better and more complete preparation for the college work. Perhaps the most prominent change in this line is that which applies to special students who must have the same amount of preparation as is required for any of the regular courses. This is a change which will appeal to all as being a step in the right direction, because heretofore we have had men in college who really ought to have been in the preparatory school. We believe that this catalogue is one, which will meet with the approval of all, because it not only clearly represents the high grade of work being done in the college, but it also signifies the high standard of requirements which a man must have for entrance.
